Lemonade is one of my 'go to' drinks no matter the season and with extra time inside these days, I thought it would be fun to test a new cocktail idea using ingredients already in the house. The refreshing combination of basil, strawberries and lemonade is a real treat and a delicious taste I think you'll really enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups lemonade
5 strawberries
3 shots of vodka
5 basil leaves
Ice
*Makes 2 - 3 cocktails
DIRECTIONS
1. Cut your strawberries into small cubes, placing into a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice.
2. Next, chiffonade the basil and put into the cocktail shaker.
3. Pour your vodka and lemonade into the cocktail shaker. Then take a muddler to mash together the ingredients.
4. Shake the cocktail until combined. Pour over short glasses with ice and garnish with fresh basil for a finish. Enjoy!
